Gio Gonzalez is the No. 3 starter for the Washington Nationals but would probably be a top-of-the-rotation pitcher for a less-talented team.
That was evident from a standout 2017 season in which Gonzalez went 15-9 with a 2.96 ERA -- a major upgrade from 2016 when he was 11-11 with a 4.57 ERA. He finished sixth in the National League Cy Young Award voting during his best season since he was 21-8 with a 2.89 ERA during his first year with Washington in 2012.
With Gonzalez working 201 innings and consistently pitching well alongside repeat Cy Young winner Max Scherzer and the oft-dominating Stephen Strasburg, it's no surprise the Nationals won 97 games and a second successive National League East title.
